Answer:

45mL hot cocoa is more chocolatey

Explanation:

When Arjun makes hot cocoa, if he add 20mL of chocolate syrup to 3ounces of water, let us know the equivalent chocolate in one ounces of water.

20mL = 3 ounces

x = 1 ounce

cross multiply

3x = 20

x = 20/3

x = 6.67 mL

This means he must have add 6.67mL of chocolate to 1 ounce of water.

Similarly, if 45mL is added to every 6 ounces

45mL = 6ounces

x = 1 ounce

cross multiply

6x = 45

x = 45/6

x = 7.5mL

This means he must have add 7.5mL of chocolate to 1 ounce of water.

The hot cocoa that is more chocolatey is the one with the highest amount of chocolate in 1 ounce. That is 45mL hot cocoa
